Mats tech inspection

There is no rule regarding belt age for hardtop cars slower than 11.50. The tech guys should be up to date on the rules. If they ask, say the car doesn't run 11.50 or better. If they say it doesn't matter, you may have a problem. There have been people that got letters from nhra stating how the rule should be applied. It has been that cars running slower than 11.50 are not subject to the 2 year seat belt rule when aftermarket belts are in the car.

If you do have an issue, I'd get on the phone with nhra and have them clear it up.

I've had this discussion with a tech guy and my other favorite is the window net in a car with a cage.

Me - Car doesn't run 9.99 or faster so it doesn't need a cage or a net.
tech - It has a cage it needs a net.
Me - cage is only required at 9.99 or faster, it doesn't run 9's so a roll bar is only required. The cage is extra safety beyond the rules for the cars ET.
tech - when you have a cage it needs a net...

He was wrong and we got a letter from corporate, but, it would be nice if they would apply the et based rules correctly. Chicken or the egg. LOL
